Family Tradition

The tradition in our family each year is for all of the women to make meat pies. Everyone used to get together at my grandmother’s house and make meat pies there. Now the tradition has shifted over to my mother’s house. Mom, Allison and Ellen, Donna and Carissa are over today working on the meat pies. That is a huge container of meat that will soon be filled with mountains of potatoes. I love our family made meat pies. I didn’t used to like them as a kid but I really like them now. I can’t wait to have one.

I had a piece for lunch and it was great. I think they are going to make something like 24 pies.

The Bard’s Tale

I have this game called The Bard’s Tale. This game turns the fantasy adventure game on its ear. The main character, The Bard (you) is voiced by Cary Elwes and he is as snarky as they come. There is also a narrator that looks down upon the story and adds his own commentary. The usual adventures that a character has to undertake in a fantasy game are present here but they are slightly off center. The cut scenes are hilarious as well as the songs that come up from time to time. If you want to play a decent role playing game that has humor and action you should do yourself a favor and pick up The Bard’s Tale. This game also includes all previous versions of A Bard’s tale going back to when it was a fantasy adventure game in its own right.
